PARSONS BEATEN OUT,
SYDNEY, February 25
The Australian and New Zealand bowling carnival was further advanced today. The semi-finals of the singles were played. The surprise of the day was the defeat of the New Zealander, Parsons, in the seventh round. Parsons up to this round had played splendid bowls, and it was generally expected he would take the title to New Zealand. In the sixth round he had shown the same form, and Bower (South Australia), who- was .responsible for his elimination, was not given a chance against the New Zealander: In the seventh round the heat was terrific, and this affected the New Zealander, and at the eighth head, when he led 9 to 1, his bowling became erratic. He only added three points to his score, and the game ended in his defeat by 21 to 12. Bower was beaten in the semi-final later in the day by Clarke (Victoria), 31 to 12. Castler (Victoria) beat Picket (Victoria), 31 to 22.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.) TENNIS AT MONTE CARLO. (Received 12 noon.'i MONTE CABLO. February 25.
